How to develop on windows?

Question

PHP

Installed windows 10, and decided to try the new built-in bash-ubuntu. Installed apache, php 7.1 directly in bash, and opened localhost directly in the browser in windows. Everything worked, showed a greeting from apache, created a file with phpinfo (), launched it, it works. Everything seems to be fine, but when I tried to activate rewrite_mod and restart apache, I saw the following in the logs:

Function not implemented: AH00023: Couldn't create the rewrite-map mutex

I tried to google the error, but my level of English let me down. 3 hours spent, but the error could not be corrected. Accordingly, the question is, is it possible to set up a server from bash so that you can write code on Windows, and all this is processed on the server? Or is it possible to do this with a virtual machine? Of course, I can put ubuntu next to windows, and switch at any time, but I want to avoid this switch. Ideally, I see it this way: I open a virtual machine with a server or bash, turn on apache, mysql, etc., open the editor in windows and also observe the result from the windows side.

Answer 1

I recommend using Linux, and if you really need Windows, then Vagrant + Puphpet.
